Clark

“S he’s here, she’s here,” I sang, as I snapped Carlos in the ass with a towel. The period had ended, and we were in the locker room.

I was elated that she was here, especially because I hadn’t expected it. While her team had their wrap-up, exit meetings, and a big party, she’d still had things to take care of before coming back.

“Did you know?” I didn’t ask this to anyone in particular.

Tenzin shook his head. “No. I was even texting with her earlier. She was having lunch with one of Verity’s sisters. It looked delightful.”

“She wanted to surprise us. So sweet,” I gushed.

Dean laughed. “Gwen was with Grace. Got it. That must be why Grace was delayed. She picked up Gwen and had lunch on the plane.”

Grif’s eyebrows waggled. “I’ll set you up if you want three goals tonight. You’ve already got one.”

I emptied a bunch of water into my mouth. “Um, that’s great?”

The last time I’d scored three goals in a game had been the one the scouts saw. I was more of an assists guy and far from the high-scorer Grif was. But I’d take it.

People started laughing, even Tenzin. What was I missing? Gwen had said something to me before about three goals, but I hadn’t paid much attention.

“Three goals, three holes?” Tenzin was cracking up. “Do they not do that in farm country?”

“Oh, they do,” LeeAnn teased.

I sat there, blinking. “Oooh, it’s real? I thought it was made up.”

Grif smirked and smacked me on the shoulder. “Very real.”

“That would be sweet. But then I don’t need three goals to get–”

Tenzin slapped his hand over my mouth and everyone laughed.

Okay, three goals and I got all of her holes? Myself? Fun. Though we hadn’t seen each other in weeks. I’d probably get them all, anyway.

I wrestled his hand off my mouth and made a face at him. “Ew, your hand tastes gross.”

“That’s what she said.” Nia laughed.

Tenzin scowled at me.

“Bucket, we all know what you do,” Vickers joked. “Ease up.”

“Yeah, ease up, Bucket,” I joked, slapping him on the ass.

Tenzin growled a little, and I knew I’d get it later. Though I wish he’d just throw me over his shoulder and fuck me in the showers or something. Seeing Gwen made me horny.

“Oh, I didn’t bring the bike, so I can’t take her to Tito’s on it.” My shoulders slumped. We always took Tenzin’s truck now.

He growled again. “No. It’s enough that you ride that, and you’re going to ride it with her. But no Tito’s on the bike, even with body armor.”

While I understood where he was coming from, did he have to be like that in front of everyone?

I took a hydrogel and squeezed it into my mouth, in a sexual way, while maintaining eye contact, then smirked at him. “Yes, Daddy.”

Tenzin’s eyes gleamed, and I wished he’d do something about it. Though intermission escapades were punishable with fines. Especially if you weren’t back by the time the new period started.

Jonas laughed. “You two have gone feral.”

“ Them? Have you seen Gwen’s social media? I don’t understand spaghetti burritos. ” Carlos made a face as he chugged a sports drink.

“Ooh, that sounds like it would soak up so much booze,” Nakey said.

“Yeah, with some spaghetti sauce to dip it in.” Pauley nodded, taking a bite of a protein bar.

It sounded good. But I was hungry. I looked for my pickles. Oh, there they were.

“Like the videos you and Clark make together for your socials are any better? Pure chaos, especially with the one of him in the dumpster with his motorcycle helmet on,” Jonas added.

I was having so much fun making silly videos with Carlos.

“Well, I’m just surprised it took you that long to spot her.” Dean laughed. “I saw her the moment I took the net.”

“But I didn’t expect her to be wearing one of the special MASO jackets.” I opened the jar and took out a pickle spear.

“Verity ordered it for her. It’s been hanging in our hall closet,” Jonas told me.

Tenzin snatched a pickle out of the jar, met my gaze, and took a bite. He was still much better at the eye contact thing than I was.

She was back. Sure I had Tenzin. It actually had been nice to have so much alone time with him. I felt like we needed it and were solid now. But there was still a big Gwen-shaped hole in our lives.

Now it was filled for the off-season. Hopefully, our agents could figure something out and get us all on the same team, so I could marry her and keep those two forever.

“My eyes,” Pauley joked, covering his eyes

“Get a room.” Vickers laughed.

Soon enough.

After I scored those goals.

The mood in Tito’s was very festive. We’d not only won, but I’d scored three goals and Double D got a shutout.

I was also horny. Gwen and I made out in the truck and had a little fun, but the need to have her in our bed, in our house, consumed me.

“Why are you still here and not enjoying the spoils?” Grif came over and handed me a beer, as I sat at a table with Tenzin.

“She’s having fun. She’s missed everyone, and this is a good chance for her to catch up.” I looked over at Gwen, who was dancing with Mercy.

Soon enough, we’d go home and have fun of a different sort.

“Yeah, so are you aware of this girl’s trip?” Grif frowned. “I know I’m not Mercy’s dad, but the idea of a group of them gallivanting across Europe, then going to a music festival…” He rubbed his head.

“It sounds like so much fun. I’ve never been to Europe and I’m looking forward to going to Italy with her and Tens,” I confessed. “I’ve been doing a little research on how to help them stay safe and they have a solid plan. Most of the time they’re staying at their friend’s homes, taking private train cars, and they have lodging in a secure area for the festival.”

“Are you talking about the girls’ trip? How do we talk them out of it? Okay, we won’t talk them out of the music festival, but can we talk them out of the rest of the trip?” Dimitri joined us, a drink in his hand, a pained look on his face.

Carlos joined us, shaking his head. “They’ll be fine.”

Dimitri shot him a look.

“Do you like fishing?” Tenzin asked. “Cooter and I were thinking it might be fun to go fishing in Europe this year. Clark might come with us.” He looked at Grif. “It could be fun for a group of us to go? Carlos, you fish, right?”

“Fishing?” Dimitri scoffed. “I enjoy fishing, but I want to end their trip, not go on one.”

“Oh?” Grif’s eyes gleamed. “I do like deep-sea fishing. There are lots of places we could explore in that area.”

Carlos blinked. “Um, my dad would take me fishing when I was a kid.”

“Yes, we were thinking of starting in France, with a little freshwater fishing. If Clark comes, we will go to Paris, since he’s never been,” Tenzin replied. “Then we’ll go down to the Mediterranean, charter a boat, and do some deep-sea fishing off Italy and Greece. Maybe see some sights there, too. I’ve heard Greece is beautiful.”

“Oh. I see.” Dimitri rubbed his chin. “Boys’ trip. Could be fun.”

“Of course.” Tenzin grinned.

“Yes, while I’d rather follow them around, this could work. We’d be near enough to help, but not so near they get mad at us.” Dimitri nodded. “We should get a yacht with a helicopter.”

“Did I hear yacht ?” Dean grinned, joining us. “Someone’s speaking my language.”

“Bucket’s putting together a fishing trip in the Mediterranean. It could be fun,” Grif said.

“Are we using fishing as an excuse to spy on that European girls’ trip Mercy and Gwen are coordinating? My friend and I were trying to think of subtle ways to keep an eye on them, since his little sister is going with them. All we could think of is entering sailboat races.” Dean took a sip of his drink. “But a fishing trip? That could work. I love deep-sea fishing.”

Carlos nodded. “It sounds epic. Though I can totally get us tickets to the festival, at least for the day Bro Ken plays. I mean, I was going to the festival anyway.” He got out his phone and started texting. “We’ll just dock the boat in the festival docks and sleep there, because getting to a campsite will be hard this close.”

“That’s a good idea. We’re not spying, we are fishing and supporting our friend.” Dimitri nodded.

“Sounds fun,” I told them. “Seeing BroKen perform will be fun. I love his new song.”

We talked a little more about coordinating it.

“Hi.” Gwen crawled onto my lap and put her head on my shoulder.

“Hi, Sweetness.” I’d missed this.

Gwen made a sleepy noise. “I'm ready when you are.”

Tenzin reached out and stroked her hair. “We’re just waiting for you. Did you get to talk to everyone you wanted to see tonight?”

She nodded. “It’s nice to be home.”

We said our goodbyes and piled into the truck. Gwen sleepily dozed against me and I stroked her pink hair.

When the truck stopped in the garage of our townhouse, I helped her get out.

“Do you want to sleep in your bed by yourself? We’re going to be in the big room.” I asked as we entered through the basement. This was one of the more used places in the house, since it was where we did laundry, worked out, and played video games.

“I want to stay with you.” She nuzzled me as we went up the stairs.

“Okay, you won’t get much sleep.” Because both Tenzin and I were wired.

Gwen gave me a sultry glance. “Who says I want to sleep? I missed you.”

Once we hit the first floor, after she’d greeted Snowball, Tenzin picked her up and carried her up the stairs. She waved at her painting. Tenzin and I spent most of our nights together in the third-floor pack room, since it’s the one we fixed first.

We’d been fixing things up, a room or two at a time. Though honestly, I enjoyed sharing this room with Tenzin best. Our rooms were more a place to store our things, maybe take a quiet nap on game day.

We’d fixed up the room, replacing the wood floor with soft carpet. The giant bed Tenzin picked out was the focus, comfortable, pack-sized, and as I’d found out, had some surprises built in.

I tossed her on the bed, then jumped on her, tackling her with kisses as she giggled.

Oh, how I’d missed that giggle.

Tenzin came in behind us. “Precious, Clark got three goals. Do you know what that means?”

“Oh, I do. But you only have two holes? I guess I pick up the extra? Not sure how it works when your partner is a dude.” Gwen grinned at him.

Oh? I hadn’t even thought of that. By Tenzin’s face, neither had he.

Tenzin sighed as he removed his coat and hung it up. “This is a no shoes house, you two. Shoes off. ”

Whoops. I kicked off my shoes and removed Gwen’s. Tenzin took our jackets.

Gwen stripped off her clothes, then lay in bed, like a starfish. Usually Tenzin liked us to shower first, since we smelled like a bar. But whatever, we could wash the sheets tomorrow.

“You know it doesn’t work like that, Precious. Now present like a good girl,” Tenzin growled.

I removed my clothes, as she got on all fours, on the bed. Tenzin was now naked and ran his hand over her bare body.

“You're so ready to be fucked, aren’t you,” he told her

“That’s why I came home early when I got the opportunity.” She sighed as he stroked her.

“I loved my surprise.” I bounced on the bed. “Snack time.” Positioning myself behind her, I ran my tongue down her length and began eating her out.

She moaned in pleasure, as she stretched out, trying to take Tenzin’s cock into her mouth, without using her hands.

“Does my Firecracker need a cock in her mouth, while she gets fucked,” Tenzin asked, still running his hands up and down her body, as she nodded and opened her mouth wide. Finally, he grabbed his hard cock, knot swollen, and put it between her lips.

Their groans made me even harder than I was as I licked, sucked, and nibbled my Sweetness, until an orgasm took her. Then I started to fuck her, moaning as her warmth enveloped me, giving her a swat on the ass, because it always made her strangle my cock.

“I love being inside you,” I told her, stroking her hair. “Look at you, being fucked by your alphas, you take us so well.”

“You’re back where you belong. It was lovely to look over and see you there,” Tenzin told her. “We missed you so much. I’m going to come,” he groaned.

Rubbing her clit, I brought her to orgasm again, as she sucked him down, and I slammed my knot into her, continuing to move and swat her ass, because she liked it when I did that.

“Alpha, yes, knot me.” Bliss covered her face.

Finally, we collapsed into a pile, waiting for my knot to deflate. Tenzin got water out of the mini fridge, and we had some, as I held her.

I kissed her again, as she snuggled into us, our bodies curled around hers. “I missed you.”

It would be hard to do all this again next year. But we’d survive, just like we had this year. Hopefully by then we’d get everything figured out, so we could be together after we get married next summer.

Then they’d be mine for always.

My knot slipped out.

“Gwen, clean him up for me.” Tenzin gave her a soft pat on the ass.

She crawled over to me and took me into her mouth. Her tongue teased my piercings and one hand cupped my balls. I’d never tire of this. “I love you, Sweetness.”

The look in her eyes said she felt the same.
